collattice: Instructions file for Claude Code

CLAUDE.md

collattice CLAUDE.md is an instructions file for Claude Code from MrBildo/collattice. It costs 13,330 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

A project guide for Collattice, a Kanban board web app with a .NET backend and React interface. It records repository rules, the technology used, and how to build and run the app.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when an agent needs to understand Collattice, install its prerequisites, run or build it, or follow its repository and agent-workspace rules.
Why use it?
It gives coding agents the project context and non-negotiable rules they need before changing code. This helps avoid incorrect setup steps and forbidden files or commits.

Instructions file for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: the file is CLAUDE.md. Also seen: reads .claude/ paths; mentions CLAUDE.md; mentions subagents.

This is MrBildo/collattice's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on collattice itself, so it is not a mod to install elsewhere. Copy it as a starting point and replace the rules that are about this project. Everything collattice configures →

Needs its repository: it reads a path above its own folder, which exists only inside the repository. The line is **Retired (2026-06):** Collabot, Collabot TUI, Knowledge Base, and Research Lab were sunset in the suite consolidation — their repos are archived under `collab/.

Reuse

Borrowing it

Nothing to install: this file belongs to MrBildo/collattice. Take a copy, put it at the same path in your own repository, and replace the rules that are about this project with yours.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

collattice CLAUDE.md scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured yesterday.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 532 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Collattice

Kanban board web application — .NET Minimal API backend + React SPA frontend. Designed for both human users and AI agent collaboration via MCP tooling.

Repository Rules — Hard

These rules are non-negotiable. They apply to every agent, every dispatch, every commit.

  1. .agents/* and .claude/* are permanently gitignored. Local-only. No exceptions. Agent workspaces, dispatch logs, specs, review artifacts, and harness state live here. Never git add --force a path under .agents/* or .claude/*. Not for "preserving review files." Not for "consistency with prior tracked files." Not for any reason. If a reviewer or planner produces an artifact (review doc, brief, spec) inside a worktree's .agents/temp/, copy it OUT to the main repo's .agents/temp/ (also gitignored) before cleaning up the worktree. If you find tracked files under these paths, scrub via git rm --cached -r .agents .claude on a chore branch and PR to main.

    Harness gotcha — editing .claude/* files: the harness Edit/Write tools deny paths under .claude/* (e.g. a local skill file like .claude/skills/release/SKILL.md). This is a built-in Claude Code protection on the .claude/ directory (same class as .git/), enforced above the settings allow/deny precedence chain — it is not a project rule and cannot be overridden by a permissions.allow glob. The filesystem allows the write; only the tools refuse. The canonical workaround is shell-level file I/O, which is outside the tool boundary: PowerShell [System.IO.File]::WriteAllText($path, $content) (Windows), or the platform equivalent. For surgical changes to an existing .claude/* file, the Edit tool is friendlier than Write — try it first. This applies to .claude/* only; .agents/* workspace files edit normally through the standard tools. (Investigated card #245.)

  2. Specs live under .agents/specs/ and are NOT part of the published source. Source code comments must not reference spec documents (e.g., // per .agents/specs/multi-board.md §6.2) — nor card numbers (// Card #N, bare #N), session or work-item shorthand, or bot-name attributions: none of these are resolvable by an external reader of the published source. Cross-reference internal design via inline rationale (the why, written into the comment) or a full GitHub issue URL (resolvable by anyone). Card numbers, spec paths, and dispatch shorthand belong to internal artifacts — cards, commit messages, dispatch logs — never to shipped source comments. (Collattice publishes its source; this matches the suite-wide source-comment convention now in the dotnet-dev / typescript-dev skills.)

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
